Instructions  Concerning  Signals. 

42.  Engineers,  when  nagged,  will  give  two  low 
blasts  of  the  whistle  as  notice  that  the  signal  is 
seen,  provided  it  is  not  necessary  to  call  for  brakes 
the  instant  he  sees  the  signal. 

43.  Engineers  when  carrying  Eed  Signals,  as 
per  Eule  33,  will  invariably  call  the  attention  of 
the  Engineer  and  Conductor  of  opposing  trains, 
wherever  met,  to  his  signals  by  five  (5)  short  blasts 
of  the  whistle,  which  must  be  answered  by  two 
(2)  low  whistles  as  an  acknowledgment  that  the 

Can  attention  signal  is  heard  and  understood.  When  the  re- 
to  slgnairsesp°nd  sponse  is  not  given,  the  train  giving  the  signal 
must  stop  and  give  notice,  and  whenever  com- 
pelled to  stop  for  this  acknowledgment,  the  facts 
must  be  reported  to  the  Superintendent.  En- 
gineers will  also  give  notice  of  their  signals  to 
Section  men  and  Bridge  men  by  five  (5)  short 
blasts  of  the  whistle.  When  trains  being  met 
also  have  signals,  they  will  answer  by  two  short 
blasts  and  then  call  attention  to  their  own  sig-

still.    When  entirely  certain  that  the  rear  part 
has   stopped,   the   forward   part    may   stop,   and 
after  sending  back  a  Flag  or  Signal,  will  move 
slowly  back  to  get  the  detached  part  of  train,  but 
not  until  a  Signal  to  back  up  has  been  received  from 
the  rear  part  of   the  train,  which  must   not  be 
given  unless  the  rear  part  is  standing  still.     If 
the  Engineer  cannot  make  sure  that  the  rear  part 
has  stopped,  he  will  proceed  to  the  nearest  siding, 
where  he  will  leave  the  forward  part  of  his  train, 
after  which  he  will  Flag  his  Engine  back  to  the  rear 
part,  presuming  that  it  is  still  in  motion,  and  taking

part  before  its  engine  has  returned,  the  following 
train  will  not  push  the  detached  portion.  If  any 
train  breaks  into  more  than  two  (2)  parts,  the 
rear  part  must  be  stopped  first,  then  the  part  next 
forward  of  it,  and  so  on,  using  great  care  not  to 
Protect  each  stop  any  part  so  as  to  permit  a  following  portion 
to  collide  with  it.  When  stopped,  each  portion 
must  be  protected  by  Signals,  if  possible. 

107.  To  avoid  any  misunderstanding  and 
unnecessary  telegraphing,  the  following  will  be 
observed:  Whenever  a  new  Time  Card  takes 
effect  all  trains  on  the  old  Card  will  take  the 
time  and  rights  of  corresponding  trains  on  the

tenders  until  they  strike  the  time  of  the  train 
whose  number  they  take.  If  the  numbers  of 
trains  are  changed  by  change  of  Card,  the  trains 
of  the  old  Card  will  not  take  the  new  numbers 
without  an  order  from  the  Superintendent.  If 
the  new  Card  takes  effect  when  certain  trains 
are  between  stations,  all  such  trains  will  Flag 
to  the  next  Telegraph  Station.  It  must  be  dis- 
tinctly understood  that  the  moment  a  new  Card 
takes  effect  the  old  one  is  thrown  away,  and  if 
the  new  Card  calls  for  trains  that  should  have 
left  the  terminal  before  the  new  Card  took  effect, 
such  trains  have  an  existence  from  the  very 
moment  the  Card  takes  effect,  no  matter  if  between 
stations,  and  all  trains  affected  will  not  run 
against  these  trains  without  special  orders.

ORDER. 

114.  In    moving    Trains    by    Special    Order, 
Each  section  each  Section  shall  be  taken  and  considered  as  a

radterterdain  sepa~  separate  and  distinct  train,  and  shall  receive 
and  run  only  -under  Special  Orders  addressed  to 
its  own  Conductor  and  Engineer. 

115.  All  orders  for  the  movement  of  trains  by 
telegraph  will  be  addressed  to  the  Conductor  and 
Engineer,  and  written  by  the  Receiving  Operator 
on  manifold  paper,  so  arranged  that  three  im- 
pressions shall  be  taken.  The  Conductor  and 
Engineer  addressed  shall  read  the  order  carefully 
and,  if  understood,  shall  sign  it,  adding  train 
number,  which    must   be    transmitted    with    it' 

den  shall  be  ad-  It  will  then  be  repeated  back  over  their  signa-

which  must  be  recorded  on  the  order,  and  the 
whole  countersigned  by  the  receiving  Operator. 
One  impression  of  the  order,  when  properly  signed, 
will  be  given  to  Conductor,  and  one  to  Engineer. 
The  third  impression  must  be  kept  by  the  Oper- 
ator in  his  manifold  book.  Receiving  Operators 
must  not,  under  any  circumstances,  repeat  an 
order  back  until  the  personal  signatures  of  the 
Conductor  and  Engineer  are  first  obtained. 

115 J.     Where  orders  are  sent  to  a  train  at  a  non- 
Telegraph  Station  through   the   medium   of  the 
Conductor   and    Engineer   of  another   train,    the      orders  sent  to 
Conductor  and  Engineer  carrying  the  order  will  {gfegraph  "Vtal

signed  by  them. 

116.  All  Orders  and  Messages  relative  to  the 
movement  of  trains  must  be  written  in  full,  and 
no  abbreviations  used,  except  the  telegraph  abbre- 
viations. "12"  (How  do  you  understand?)  and  infuu 
"13"  'I  understand.)  Figures  must  be  written

and  not  then  until  the  approval  is  entered  upon 
the  Older  and  the  Operator  has  signed  his  own 
name  thereon.  When,  by  reason  of  the  telegraph

7  p.  m.  and  7  a.  m.,  >ll  trains  will  consider  them- 
selves held  for  orders  unless  they  receive  a  clear- 
ance, as  per  Rule  125.  In  the  absence  of  a  White 
Signal  at  any  night  telegraph  office,  during  night, 
trains  must  be  brought  to  a  full  stop  and  position 
of  Signal  Board  ascertained  before  proceeding. 
Report  all  such  cases  to  Superintendent. 

127.  When  a  train  is  held  for  orders  by  a  "13" 
order,  they  cannot  be  released  by  any  form  of 

when  a  train  clearance  or  notice  of  bad  track  or  bridges  unless

ular "13"  order  to  release  a  Train  held  for 
orders  by  a  "  13"  order. 

128.  When  an  Operator  receives  an   order  to 
when  an  Op-  flag  and  hold  a  train  for  orders,  the  "13"  must

tors  are  chang-  day  Operator,  the  relieving  Operator  will  sign  hold- 
ing orders,  and  have  them  repeated  to  Dispatcher 
for  his  0.  K. 

129.  In  giving  orders  against  Passenger 
Trains,  Dispatchers  will  in  every  case  get  the 
understanding  from  Conductor  and  Engineer  of 
train  having  the  right  to  the  road,  before  moving 
any  train  against  them,  except  at  Terminal 
Stations,  where  Dispatchers  may  depend  upon 
Operator,  Green  Signal  and  the  signature  of  two 
or  more  responsible  employes  to  the  order.  The 
signatures  of  Agent  and  Yard  Master,  with  the 
Operator,  are  preferable,   but.  if  they  cannot  be 

when  giving  obtained,  then  the  signature  of  any  other  respond- 
passengertri?ni   ble  employe  will  answer.     If  it  is  not  possible  to 


41 

obtain  the  additional  signatures  without  serious 
delay,  and  the  train  to  be  held  is  obliged  to  pass 
the  telegraph  office  before  it  can  leave  the  station^ 
then  the  Green  Signal  and  the  Operator's  signa- 
ture can  be  used  for  moving  trains  against,  but 
the  Operator  must  secure  the  additional  signatures 
as  soon  as  possible.  If,  however,  the  train  can 
pull  out  of  the  yard  without  passing  the  telegraph 
Office,  then  under  no  circumstances  will  trains  be 
i  against  it  until  the  three  signatures  are 
obtained  to  the  order. 

130.  The  general  rule  to  be  observed  in  mov- 
ing Freight  Trains  against  each  other  is  to  obtain 
the  understanding  of  the  Conductor  and  Engineer 
of  the  train  having  the  right  to  the  road  before 
running  any  train  against  them.  If,  however, 
the  conditions  are  favorable  for  holding  Freight 
Trams  through  the  Operator  and  serious  delays 
can  be  avoided  thereby  Dispatcher  can  depend 
upon  the  signature  of  the  Operator,  Green  Sig- 
nal and  Torpedoes  to  hold  such  ruling  train  when  moving 
for  orders  at  any  Telegraph  Station,  other  than   aTa^nst'Vach

addition  to  the  Green  Signal  and  Torpedoes  at 
the  Telegraph  Office-.  When  there  is  no  Telegraph 
Office  at  the  meeting  point,  the  Red  Signal  and 
Torpedoes  must  be  used  for  holding  at  the  Tele-

Time  Orders,  except  for  work  train  service  and 
for  moving  slow  trains  ahead  of  fast  trains,  must 
be  the  exception  and  not  the  rule. 

Orders  reading  like  the  following:  "All  former 
Orders  recalled;"  "  Order  No is  void  or  re- 
called;" "All  trains  due  have  passed,"  must  be 
discontinued. 

Note.— The  words  "all  trains  due  have  passed"  may  be  used  in  ex- 
treme cases  if  the  Dispatcher  has  two  checks  on  all  trains  having  passed. 

Dispatchers  must  aid  in  the  observance  of  Rule 
126  by  asking  Operators  frequently  if  both  Con- 
ductor and  Engineer  received  the  clearance. 
Rule  126  is  an  extra  precaution  rule  and  must 
never  be  used  to  move  trains  against. 

Regular  trains  must  not  be  run  ahead  of  time 
or  faster  than  the  prescribed  rate  of  speed  except 
when  there  is  good  and  sufficient  reasons  for  so 
doing. 

Note.— Superintendents  must  so  far  as  practicable  be  kept  advised 
of  the  necessity  for  modification  of  above  rule  in  order  that  the  practice 
of  running  trains  in  advance  of  time  or  increasing  their  speed  may  be 
kept  at  its  minimum. 

It  is  the  duty  of  Dispatchers  to  hold  following 
sections  of  trains  when  they  are  known  to  be  run- 
ning too  close  and  keep  them  the  prescribed  time 
and  distance  apart,  and  in  stormy  weather  the  ut- 
most care  must  be  exercised  in  blocking  the  sec- 
tions a  safe  distance  apart. 

Dispatchers  will  not  permit  two  freights  on 
the  Mountains  at  the  same  time  going  in  either 
direction.  Freight  trains  must  never  follow 
Passenger  trains  down  Mountains,  hut  Passenger 
trains  may  follow  Freight  trains.    See  Rule  84. 

Meeting  points,  when  it  is  possible  to 
avoid  them,  must  not  be  permitted  on 
the  Mountains.    A  Passenger  Train  can  pass  an 


49 

Inferior  Class  Train  already  on  the  Mountain,  but 
it  is  better,  when  possible  to  avoid  even  this,  and 
permit  only  one  train  at  a  time  on  the  hill. 

Chief  Dispatchers  or  Division  Operators  must 
fully  examine  and  instruct  all  new  Operators  in  Examine  and 
the  matter  of  Train  Signalsjtnd  handling  of  Train  J,™*™^116* 
Orders,  before  they  are  allowed  to  commence  work. 
If  this  cannot  be  done  before  Operators  commence 
service  it  must  be  attended  to  at  the  first  oppor- 
tunity. 

Division  Superintendents  will  make    frequent      superintend- 
examination  of  Train  Order  Books  and  hold  Dis-  train  order

vance of  the  forms.

trains  will  allow  as  much  time  as  possible  between 

the  plow  and  the  following  train.  All  Engineers  biuzards 
should  mark  the  bad  cuts,  and  in  severe  storms

ty  hd  closed.       opened  except  to  build  the  fire  or  put  in  coal. 

263.  The  heater  should  be  kept  two-thirds  full 
of  coal  at  all  times,  and  when  an  extra  degree  of 
heat  is  required  the  coal  should  not  be  allowed  to

265.  Failure  of  heater  may  arise  from  neglect 
or  from  using  an  unsuitable  grade  of  coal.     Also 

Why    heaters  te  ° 

fail.  from  allowing  fires  to  run  too  long  without  put- 

ting in  coal,  then  filling  them  full  and  opening  the

quiry as  to  the  physical  condition  and  state  of 
health  of  all  applicants  for  employment,  and  where

INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  THE  CARE 
OF  INJURED  PERSONS. 

It  often  becomes  a  duty  to  administer  to  the  suf- 
ferings of  those  who  meet  with  accidents  on  the 
line  of  the  Road,  as  hours  must  elapse,  frequently, 
before  surgical   aid  can  be  reached;  since  much 
of  the  country  through  which  the  Road  passes  is 
sparsely  settled.    It  is  in  these  cases  of  emergency 
that  great  service  may  be  rendered  to  the  wounded 
in  relieving  them  of  pain,  in  preventing  permanent      Aidinemerg- 
disablement,  and  perhaps  even  in  saving  life.     In 
r  to   accomplish  these  ends,  the  following  in- 
tious  are  appended,  substantially  the  same  as 
those  prepared  by  Dr.  John  W.  Trader  for  the 
of  the  M.,  K.  &  T.  R.  R.,  and  by  Dr. 
Bancroft  of  the  Denver  &  Rio  Grande  R..R.;  and 
a   small  box  containing   a    tew    medicines,  band- 
entrusted  to  the  care  of  Train  Con-

INJURIES    OF    THE    HEAD. 


Bruisep  of  head. 


In  simple  bruises  of  the  head,  when  the  skin  is 
not  cut  through  to  the  bone,  apply  a  compress  and 
bandage,  keeping  the  dressing  wet  with  water. 

In  concussion  of  the  brain  the  patient  is  either 
insensible  or  delirious.     Keep  the  head  cool,  the

In  severe  injuries  of  the  head,  as  fractures, 
slightly  elevate  the  head,  unfasten  the  clothes 
about  the  throat  and  waist,  and  keep  the  patient

run  out  of  the  mouth.     Also,  keep  the  feet  warm.

INJURIES    TO   THE    CHEST. 

When  one  or  more  ribs  are  broken,  seat  the 
patient  in  the  chair,  with  his  arms  around  the  neck 
of  an  assistant,  who  will  lift  up  until  the  patient's  Broken  „b8. 
body  is  on  a  stretch,  then  apply  the  wide  bandage, 
taking  four  or  five  turns,  pin  snugly,  then  lay  the 
patient  flat  on  his  back. 

FRACTURES. 

When  the  collar  bone  is  broken,  tie  the  shoulder 
back  by  bandages  passed  under  the  arm  and  over     Broken  collar 
the  back,  like  a  figure  eight,  Q   then  put  the  arm 
in  a  sling,  slightly  elevating  the  elbow. 

When  the  long  bones  are  broken,  as  arms  or 
legs,  pull  the  limbs  as  nearly  as  possible  into 
proper  shape,  observing  this  rule:  When  the 
broken  bone  is  bent  towards  a  right  angle,  and 
shortened,  extend  by  pulling  in  direction  of  the 
angle  until  the  ends  of  the  bone  approach  each 
other,  then  straighten  the  limb.  When  the  ends 
of  bones  have  been  thrust  through  the  muscles, 
you  must  first  release  them  from  this  unnatural 
and  painful  position  before  attempting  to  straighten 
them.     The  following  diagram  will  illustrate:

When  a  fractured  limb  is  reduced  and  placed 
in  something  like  its  natural  position,  there  should 
be  very  little  pain;  neither  should  there  be  much 
pain  in  reducing  a  fracture  if  the  proper  care  and 
gentleness  be  observed.  Fractures  should  be 
adjusted  as  soon  after  the  injury  as  possible. 
After  you  have  straightened  the  limb  out  parallel 
with  the  body,  make  it  fast — if  a  leg,  to  its  fellow; 
if  an  arm,  the  bandage  should  encircle  the  body. 
Fracture  should  be  firmly  held  by  the  bandage,  so 
as  to  avoid  too  much  motion  in  the  broken  bone, 
but  care  must  be  taken  not  to  bind  unevenly  and 
too  tightly. 

In  case  the  patient  is  not  to  be  moved,  there  is 
no  necessity  for  binding  the  limb,  but  allow  it  to 
lie  in  the  most  comfortable  position,  covering  it 
with  cloths  wrung  out  of  warm  water. 

DISLOCATION. 

Many,  and  nearly  all,  of  the  dislocations  can  be 
reduced  by  attending  to  them  immediately.  The 
fingers,  wrist  and  elbow  joints,  by  gently  pulling 
on  them,  and  at  the  same  time,  pressing  them  in- 
to place.  The  shoulder,  when  knocked  down,  is 
easily  reduced  by  grasping  the  dislocated  arm  and 
Dbtoeatioiu.  elevating  it  over  the  patient's  head,  then  let  some 
one  place  both  thumbs  under  the  joint  in  the  arm- 
pit and  press  up  firmly,  while  the  arm  is  brought 
gently  but  firmly  down  until  it  is  parallel  with 
the  body;  then  put  the  arm  in  a  sling,  slightly 
elevating  the  elbow. 

CRUSHED   AND    BRUISED    LIMBS. 

By  far  the  greater  number  of  railroad  injuries 
are  of  this  class.     Fortunately,  there  is  very  little 


99 

danger  of  severe  bleeding.  The  treatment  is  to 
immerse  the  injured  limb  in  milk-warm  water, 
or  envelop  it  with  cloths  wrung  out  of  warm 
water.  Do  not  bind  a  crushed  hand  or  foot.  hSXblnd 
Sometimes  the  pain  is  very  intense  when  the 
mtem  awakens  from  the  shock.  In  this  case, 
give  fifteen  or  twenty  drops  of  laudanum,  as  al- 
ready directed. 

BLEEDING    WOUNDS. 

Bleeding  in  wounds  may  be  stopped,  ordina- 
rily, by  binding  a  compress  over  them  which  has 
previously  been  dipped  in  cold  water.  Should 
the  wound,  however,  be  bleeding  profusely  (spurt- 
ing blood),  crowd  into  the  wound  some  styptic 
wool,  and  then  apply  a  bandage  firmly  over  it. 
If  this  method  fails,  and  it  be  a  hand  or  an  arm 
that  is  injured,  place  the  bandage  loosely  above  the 
elbow  three  or  four  inches;  if  it  be  a  foot  or  a  leg, 
place  it  four  or  five  inches  above  the  knee,  but 
if  the  bleeding  is  in  the  upper  arm  or  leg  Bleeding, how 
aj.ply  the  bandage  above  the  wound,  after  which 
observe  this  rule:  Put  a  large  cork  or  a  hard 
roller  bandage  on  the  inside  of  the  limb  under  the 
bandage;  then  place  under  it,  immediately  on  top 
of  the  cork  or  roller,  a  small  stick  or  lead  pencil 
and  twist  steadily  until  the  hemorrhage  stops. 
Care  should  be  exercised  that  this  twist  is  not 
Brmer  than  is  required  to  arrest  the  bleeding,  nor 
<(.iit inn.'  longer  than  is  necessary  to  reach  ex- 
ienced  help.

pain,  and  if  the  burn  is  extensive,  give  also  strong 
coffee  and  whisky  and  ammonia  mixture  (  Na  _ 

FROST-BITE. 

Remove  the  person  frozen  to  a  cold  room  and 
immerse  the  frozen  parts  in  ice  water,  or  care- 
fully rub  them  with  snow.  Care  should  be  taken 
not  to  scratch  nor  break  the  skin.  From  one- 
half  hour  to  three  hours  should  be  spent  in  re- 
moving the  frost  from  the  affected  parts.  Alter 
the  frost  has  been  expelled,  the  patient  should  be 
removed  to  a  comfortable  room,  the  limb  elevate*  1 
and  lightly  covered,  and  cooling  lotions  applied. 
If  vesicles  appear,  equal  parts  of  lime  water  and 
sweet  oil  may  be  applied. 

RUPTURE. 

Sometimes  after  a  severe  strain  a  tumor  sud- 
denly appears  in  the  groin,  and  not  unfrequently 
extends  into  the  scrotum.  Whenever  this  occurs 
place  the  patient  on  his  back  in  a  recumbent  posi- 
tion, with  the  limbs  flexed;  then  place  the  band  on 
the  tumor,  and  press  gently  obliquely  upward  and 
outwards.  When  it  is  reduced,  keep  it  in  posit  ion 
until  you  find  a  surgeon.  When,  however,  it  is 
not  easily  returned,  do  not  use  violence,  but  make 
applications  of  cold  water  until  the  services  of  a 
surgeon  can  be  obtained. 


101 

NOTIFY    SURGEON. 

Whenever  an  accident  occurs  on  the  line,  the 
Conductor  must  immediately  telegraph  the  Sur-  ge^Jnc8eur 
geon  in  whose  charge  the  injured  person  is  to  be 
placed,  in  order  that  time  may  be  given  to  pre- 
pare for  reception  of  the  patient. 

TRAMPS    INJURED. 

In  cases  of  injury  inflicted  by  trains  upon  in- 
toxicated persons  on  the  track,  tramps  stealing  injuries  to 
rides,  etc.,  where  the  employes  of  the  Road  are  in  tramPs 
no  way  to  blame,  the  injured  persons  must,  of 
course,  be  carried  to  a  station  where  humane  and 
proper  treatment  can  be  bestowed;  but,  as  such 
persona  are  generally  without  means,  it  is  not 
advisable  to  take  them  out  of  the  county  in  which 
tin-  accident  occurs.  All  such  cases  should  be 
placed  under  the  care  of  the  county  authorities 
where  the  injury  occurred,  as  early  as  possible. 
In  no  instance  are  they  to  be  removed  beyond 
the  limits  of  such  county  without  express  orders      Not  to  be  re-

USE   OF   LIQUOR. 

The   continued,  or   the   excessive  periodical    use 

malt  or  alcoholic  Liquors  should  be  abstained 

from  l.y  every  one  engaged  in  operating  the  road 

ilv  on  account  of  the  great  risks  to  life  and  liquors

times  when  most  care  is  needed,  but  also,  and 
especially,  because  habitual  drinking  has  a  very  bad 
effect  upon  the  constitution,  which  is  a  serious  mat- 
ter for  men  so  liable  to  injury  as  railroad  employes 
in'urious  re-  a^vvay8  are-  It*  80  lessens  the  recuperative  powers 
8UltB-  of  the  body  that  simple  wounds  are  followed  by 

the  most  serious  and  dangerous  complications. 
Fractures  unite  slowly,  if  at  all,  and  wounds  of  a 
grave  nature,  such  as  those  requiring  the  loss  of 
a  limb,  are  almost  sure  to  end  fatally.  No  Em- 
ploye  CAN   AFFORD   TO   TAKE   SUCH    RISKS,  AND   THE 

Railway  Company  cannot  assume  such  respon- 
sibilities.
